YALC 2018 – who’s there and what’s happening?

Mark it in your calendars, the 27th to the 29th of July is when all your bookish dreams can come true at London’s Olympia. YALC or the Young Adult Literature Convention if you’re being fancy, is back for another year.

YALC 2018 is a celebration of the very best books for young people – and fans of young adult fiction will once again have chance to meet favourite authors, discover new books, listen to inspiring talks, take part in hands-on creative workshops, meet agents and publishers – and much more!

40 authors have so far been announced for the weekend, want to see what’s in store? You’ve come to the right place.

Chloe Seager author of ‘Editing Emma‘ will be signing copies of her book and taking part in a panel on Friday 27th July.

Verity is a twenty-something who still doesn't know what that means. She nearly ate Harry Styles' hair once and blames that for her sporadic hiccups. Mildly obsessed with sausage dogs, campaigning to bring mint M&Ms to the UK and finding the perfect Chelsea boot.
